    I have to commend the person who commented on the archived pictures from GB as "Gun Porn". They really are... An unreachable investment for most of us - (we can't get the funds approved by our family budget committee ) Non-the-less the pictures capture the breath and make us pause,

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    See the bidding has stalled at $3,185.00 for now and obviously in the mind of the bidders is getting close to today's value. I still think they will get closer to $3,500.00 before this is over. Just wish these were for sale in Canadaicon as I think I would be willing to eat KD for a few months to be able to own them.
    Why use a 50 pound bomb when a 500 pound bomb will do?

    Well they went for $5,350.00 which is higher than I thought they would and maybe a little overpriced IMO but what do I know. Someone did get 4 absolutely beautiful rifles however.

    Sequentially numbered also so they're for a collection. Virtually certainly the winner is on here somewhere.

    Yes, the real tragedy is that the other rifles are already gone.

    It would be nice to have a full consecutive case.

    You guys have all jumped to the conclusion that it is a full case, the seller does not say or imply it, and picture number 2 clearly shows that it isn't full.

    If so they need to confess and post some good pictures.

    I don't think enbloc8's comment necessarily implied it was a full crate, but rather a set of four consecutively numbered rifles and a full case would only make it more unaffordable.

    I think the price is probably fair to a wealthier man than me.

    Treasure. I for one have never seen a new LB MkI*.
    MJ, don't take this personally, but that's crap.
